[libvirt] [PATCH 13/17] docs: convert virt-login-shell man page from pod to rst

Fri Dec 6 14:50:38 UTC 2019


This was a semi-automated conversion. First it was run through pod2rst,
and then it was manually editted to use a rst structure that matches
expectations of rst2man.

+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+``virt-login-shell`` [*OPTION*]
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+The ``virt-login-shell`` program is a setuid shell that is used to join
+an LXC container that matches the user's name.  If the container is not
+running, ``virt-login-shell`` will attempt to start the container.
+``virt-login-shell`` is not allowed to be run by root.  Normal users will get
+added to a container that matches their username, if it exists, and they are
+configured in ``/etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf``.
+
+The basic structure of most ``virt-login-shell`` usage is:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   virt-login-shell
+
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+``-c CMD``
+
+Instruct the shell to run CMD instead of presenting an
+interactive shell prompt.
+
+``-h``, ``--help``
+
+Display command line help usage then exit.
+
+``-V``, ``--version``
+
+Display version information then exit.
+
+
+CONFIG
+======
+
+By default, ``virt-login-shell`` will execute the ``/bin/sh`` program for
+the user. You can modify this behaviour by defining the shell variable in
+``/etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf``. e.g.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   shell = [ "/bin/bash" ]
+
+
+If the ``auto_shell`` config option is set then it will attempt to automatically
+detect the shell from ``/etc/password`` inside the container. This should only
+be done if the container has a separate ``/etc`` directory from the host,
+otherwise it will end up recursively invoking ``virt-login-shell``. e.g.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   auto_shell = 1
+
+
+By default no users are allowed to use virt-login-shell, if you want to allow
+certain users to use virt-login-shell, you need to modify the allowed_users
+variable in /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf. e.g.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+   allowed_users = [ "tom", "dick", "harry" ]
+
+
+EXIT STATUS
+===========
+
+``virt-login-shell`` normally returns the exit status of the command it
+executed. If the command was killed by a signal, but that signal is not
+fatal to virt-login-shell, then it returns the signal number plus 128.
+
+Exit status generated by ``virt-login-shell`` itself:
+
+* ``0`` An option was used to learn more about this binary.
+
+* ``125`` Generic error before attempting execution of the configured shell; for example, if libvirtd is not running.
+
+* ``126`` The configured shell exists but could not be executed.
+
+* ``127`` The configured shell could not be found.
+
+
+BUGS
+====
+
+Please report all bugs you discover.  This should be done via either:
+
+#. the mailing list
+
+   `https://libvirt.org/contact.html <https://libvirt.org/contact.html>`_
+
+#. the bug tracker
+
+   `https://libvirt.org/bugs.html <https://libvirt.org/bugs.html>`_
+
+Alternatively, you may report bugs to your software distributor / vendor.
